Last week, Pfriem Family Brewers was named brewery of the year at the Oregon Beer Awards. That award, determined by hundreds of industry insiders from across the state, speaks to the sterling work they're doing out in Hood River. Pfriem's Flanders-Style Red Ale is another show-stopper. This deep, layered beer spent 18 months in oak barrels, getting a little leather and a lot of tart cherry. There's some raspberry and woodiness, and the finish is so dry it reminds me more of pinot noir than any other beer made in the state. If you wonder how any single Oregon brewery can stand above its 233 brothers, try this. Recommended.
